Hey Goosebuds listeners, your host Chad here.

Those on the Patreon have already gotten a heads up– but Goosebuds is taking a two month pause– from August and September. The reason is I’ve been swamped in work at my day job. By the way, I can finally announce I’ve been working these past two years as lead writer on the upcoming series Avatar: Seven Havens. That’s about the elemental warriors; not the James Cameron blue cat people.

Goosebuds will return in the spookiest month of October, with great guests and topics lined up. It’s meant a lot to have many of you accompany me on this new version of the podcast– expanding beyond R.L. Stines works and covering other media that gives us goosebumps.

But we can’t do this show without you wonderful supporters on Patreon. Not only do you get access to bonus Camp Goosebuds episodes and our Discord, but you shape the direction of the show. Want us to cover specific media? Want us to rotate in more R.L. Stine? Then join the Patreon. That’s patreon.com/goosebuds.

Hope you have a good rest of your summer. We'll see you all in October.

Hello?! Anyone in this abandoned church? Want to talk about infected rage zombies? Your host Chad Quandt is joined by editor Ben Ravid (Invincible Fight Girl, Big Nate, this show!) to gush about the acclaimed movie that kicked off the modern zombie craze: Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's 28 Days Later. And we also talk about the just released followup that is almost literally 28 Years Later. How would Chad and Ben survive an apocalypse? How amazingly badass is Selena with a machete? And what the hell is that Power Rangers cliffhanger? Spoilers abound for both films. Enjoy the episode!

Movies discussion begins: 16:50

Other Topics: Superman 2025 (no spoilers), 30 Days of Night, Avengers: Age of Ultron, The Last of Us

They're here! Chad is joined by returning guest Jordan Morris (Bubble, Youth Group, Jordan Jesse Go!) to talk Tobe Hooper and Stephen Spielberg's 1982 classic Poltergeist. A surprising blend of supernatural horror and Amblin family charm. This is a movie where in first 30 minutes a boy is vored by a tree! We also discuss Chad's lost Heathcliff movie pitch.
